    Settings lost after update/reboot


    Several times my settings for various programs have disappeared after rebooting. This has mostly happened after a windows update.

    It's as though I were setting up a new computer time and again. With Microsoft forcing updates all the time, it is driving me crazy.

    How can I make sure this won't happen?

    :)

    Windows 10 Language Settings Lost After Reboot


    On one of our PCs where we upgraded to Windows 10, the handwriting recognition on the on=screen keyboard was not enabled. After some searching we found how to enable this and it worked.

    The steps followed were:

    The steps below show how to resolve this.

    1: Right click the Windows flag in the bottom right of your desktop and open control panel

    2: Click on Languages

    3: Click "Options" on the right hand side of the 'English US' language selection

    4: At the bottom of the page make sure the 'Write Characters In Freehand' option is ticked, then click "Personalise Handwriting Recognition"

    5: Now click 'Target Specific Recognition Errors'

    6: Next click 'Character" or "Word" you specify, and then proceed to type in any 6 letter word of you choice via the keyboard, Click next

    7: Proceed to use your finger/mouse to write the word you have chosen into the yellow boxes, Click next and repeat the process

    8: Click finish and finally click update and exit

    On this one PC these settings are lost on reboot, and we have to repeat the process.

    Why are the settings getting reset/lost on reboot?

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
